California Teachers Association
(CTA) says documents might not
exist anymore.
Just How
Cynical is CTA?
The San Diego Union
Tribune reports that
Brooklyn Elementary
School in San Diego,
which is moving to a
new facility about a
half mile away, is
"one of those rare urban
schools that can boast a
stable faculty and rising
test scores, despite...a
largely underprivileged
student population...
"Brooklyn teachers
have forged such close
ties with parents that
they make home visits
and on occasion have
provided clothing and
food to poor families.
"But this tight-knit
staff may be dispersed
come July because of
union rules that say
that teachers with the
most seniority get first
dibs on jobs at new
schools...
"The teachers union denied that
it failed to inform its
members...saying its
representatives have met
several times with Brooklyn
teachers regarding the
move...The union has declined
the Brooklyn teachers' request
to waive the contract provision.."
School board member
Luis Acle said that the
union should "put
children's interests
above adult interests."

PRESIDENT GINA BOYD CLAIMS SHE EITHER
ACCIDENTALLY THREW AWAY OR LOST her notes of a critical
meeting at which CVESD Asst. Superintendent Richard Werlin placed Maura
Larkins on administrative leave. On Feb. 12, 2006, Werlin said two
teachers were afraid Maura Larkins would kill them.
SOON AFTER, WERLIN CHANGED HIS STORY.
Two months later, GINA BOYD ADMITTED THAT WERLIN CHANGED HIS
STORY about two teachers calling him on Feb 10, 2001. Boyd told Maura
Larkins that meeting notes proved this, since her notes stated,
"THEY FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES."
WERLIN NOW CLAIMS THAT ONLY ONE TEACHER HAD
CALLED HIM. BOYD WENT ALONG WITH THE NEW STORY.
Boyd changed her own story to agree with Werlin, and CAME UP WITH THE
STORY that she had either accidentally thrown away her notes of the
meeting, or her lawyer had lost them.
